OUR WHY:

As former athletes and performers ourselves, we have a passion for sports and helping athletes by being the resource we wish we had. We started our journey to help athletes because we recognize the pressures and challenges that athletes face and the lack of support for athletes in the area. We have experienced the emotional roller-coasters of severe injuries, the high of winning a championship, the lack of motivation due to feeling burnt out, and the confidence of believing in our abilities. We have also experienced coaches saying that the game is 50% mental, yet never provide resources on how to become a mentally stronger player.

We understand the culture of sports that have created a hesitancy for athletes to reach out and talk about their mental health due to fear of being benched, cut, or judge. This is why we are here to change that narrative and create a place where athletes, coaches, and high performers can come to improve their mental performance, take care of their mental health, and achieve their goals. This is where you can grow!
